Wireless LAN
"Use Wireless LAN"
Tick this check box to use a wireless LAN.
"Network Mode"
Select Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure mode.
"Channel"
If "Ad-Hoc" is selected as the network
mode, select a number from 1 to 14 as the
channel to be used for communication.
"ESS ID"
Enter the ESS ID. This setting is only
available when "Infrastructure" is selected
as the network mode. The ESS ID can
consist of any characters except for
double quotation marks (“).
"IP Address"
Enter a network interface-specific IP
address. Note that you cannot specify the
same IP address as that specified for the
Ethernet.
"Subnet Mask"
Enter the subnet mask specified for the
network to be connected.
"Transmission Rate"
Select the transmission rate.
“Enable WEP”
For encrypted communication, set the
same encryption keys.
Select 64 bit or 128 bit as the “Key
Length” used, enter the encryption key
and then select the key to be used for
transmission in the "Default key".
Contact the network administrator for the
IP address, subnet mask, and encryption
settings.
Match the WEP to the hexadecimal
setting for the communications access
point. Only hexadecimal values can be
entered on the VB150.
● If a wireless LAN is to be used, give serious consideration to the
installation location and communications security.
● If you are using a wireless LAN, take particular care with the IP address,
subnet mask and route settings. If errors are found in any of these items,
you may be completely unable to access the VB150 via a wireless LAN.
● When you change an IP address, please re-access the Settings Title Page
with the new IP address (→ P.34).
● Turn the VB150 off before you insert a wireless LAN card or a modem card.
● Physically different networks should be used for Ethernet and wireless LAN
connections.
● Note that the VB150 cannot be used in 802.11 Ad-Hoc mode when using
system software such as Windows XP.

Note
Two modes are used for wireless
LANs: “Ad-Hoc” mode for
communication between stations,
and “Infrastructure” mode for
access via access points. In each
case the same settings as for the
communication destination are
required.
